Ingredients

Brownie batter:

  • 115 g butter
  • 200 g SweetLife Xylitol (birch sugar)
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 80 g cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ⅓ tsp salt

Pumpkin batter:

  • 50 g SweetLife Xylitol
  • 1 egg (room temperature)
  • 100 g pumpkin purée (from baby food aisle or homemade)
  • 35 g 100% peanut butter
  • 60 g flour
  • ¾ tsp pumpkin spice / speculaas spice
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ⅙ tsp salt

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 20 cm (8-inch) brownie pan and line it with baking paper.
2. For the brownie batter, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
3. Mix the melted butter, xylitol, eggs, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Add the cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, and gently fold until combined.
4. For the pumpkin batter, stir together the xylitol, egg, pumpkin purée, and peanut butter in a bowl. Add the flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, and salt, and gently fold until combined.
5. Spoon two-thirds of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and dollop the pumpkin batter on top. Swirl both batters together until a marbled pattern forms.
6. Bake the brownies for 30–35 minutes, until done. Let cool completely before slicing.
